B2B vs B2C Micro-SaaS: Which Model Generates Higher Returns for Solo Founders?

B2C software suffers from brutal churn (8% to 15% monthly cancellation rates), forcing founders onto an endless marketing treadmill.

Businesses and professionals buy software to save time or make money, leading to low 1-3% churn and healthy willingness to pay.
